I want a tailor's ham for pressing. When I read recently that they are essential for pressing curved seams, it made sense as I remembered the great difficulty I've had pressing armholes and necklines. I think I'll make one using this pattern.
I bought several items on my wish list today:
- two yards of graphing material for use in altering patterns. I think I bought the wrong stuff. I should have chosen something closer to this paper.
- new and sharp pins with glass heads
- a fine line yellow chalk marker
- a measuring gauge
- 6 inch clear ruler
- (my favorite of all) Dritz Machine Seam Gauge and Adhesive Guide. This is the tool I have always wished existed to help guide fabric for accurate seam widths.
Successful haul makes a happy sewist.
